Op Art is artwork that plays tricks on our eyes.  \nArtist M.C. Escher is famous for having created lots of different kinds of Op Art.  \nBridget Riley is famous for creating Op Art that looks like it is moving. Sometimes it hurts your eyes to look at it for too long.  \nHistory of Op Art  \nby Andrea Mulder-Slater  \nOp Art was an art movement which occurred in the 1960s. It was a time when the artist was very much interested in the idea of creating movement on a two-dimensional surface by tricking the eye with a series of optical illusions.  \n“Op” for “Optical Illusion”  \n“The birth of Op Art began officially with an article in Time Magazine. In 1964, Time Magazine published an article featuring an art movement involving optical illusions. Since the artists focused on eye manipulation, Time Magazine coined this new movement “Op Art”.”  \n~Source Modern Masterworks  \nImportant Artists:  \n• Riley, Bridget  \n• Stella, Frank  \n• Albers, Josef  \n• Poons, Lawrence  \n• Noland, Kenneth  \n• Vasarely, Victor  \n• Anuszkiewicz, Richard  \nOp Art Drawing Project  \nWhat You Need:  \n• 9″x12″ white paper  \n• Sharpie markers  \n• pencil crayons  \n• notes on Op Art (see end of lesson plan)  \nThis lesson takes (on average) three 60 minute class periods. / Ideal for Grade 5.  \nStart by drawing a curved line across the paper with a Sharpie marker. Think rolling hill… not rollercoaster!  \nAdd 8 dots across the line.  \nThey should be different lengths apart.  \nYou need a dot close to the edges of your paper.  \nStart connecting the dots with bumps.  \nThe lines from the dots close to the edge will go off the edge of the paper to an imaginary dot.  \nThe lines will eventually go off the top and bottom of the paper .  \nFill the whole paper.  \nPick a group of colors you feel work well together (2 or 3) .  \nUsing pencil crayons, fill in the spaces. Press harder in the corners. As you get near the top of each bump, press lighter and lighter.  \nContinue until the work is complete.","cbCaii23m7WUna3U","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaii23m7WUna3U","pdf",760156,"English","# Op Art Shaded Shapes\n## Summary and What Is Op Art?\n## History of Op Art\n## Important Artists\n## Op Art Drawing Project\n## What You Need\n## Step-by-Step Drawing Guide","[{\"question\":\"What is Op Art and why do artists use it?\",\"answer\":\"Op Art is artwork that plays tricks on the eyes, creating visual effects that can feel like movement.
